BED-BOTTOM SPRING.

I SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 252,469, dated January 17, 1882.

Application filed December 8, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSHUA V. J ARRE T, a citizen of the United States, residing at Valley Mills, in the county of Bosqueaud State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Iinprovelnentsin Bed-Bottom Springs, ofwhich the following is a specification,reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is a top plan view of my improved "spriu g. Fig.2 is a side elevation of the same, and Fig. 3 is a modification, showing the spiral coils running in opposite directions.

This invention has relation to bed-springs; and the novelty consists in the construction of the same, as will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly poincd out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings similar let-, ters of reference indicate like parts of theinvention. V

A A are twin spirals, joined at their tops by the gridironshaped connection B, which is made of a series of parallels, b, so as to form a platform for the mattress to rest upon.

By this construction, in addition to the support furnished by the top spirals, the platform furnishes a broad level bearing for the mat tress and prevents sagging between the springs or injury to the mattress itself. Also, the parallels b, being springs in themselves, additional comfort and elasticity are added to the bed, and" the springs them selves are more readilyadapted'
